    SCAR 17 rail extension and clip on night vision.

    You might have to take your rear iron sight off in order to get everything to mount up correctly but it should fit as the mounting point on the PVS-22 is farther back than the end of the OAL of the unit. You would probubly have around 2 - 2 1/2" to spare at the end with no hang over...

    SCAR 17 rail extension and clip on night vision.

    Your correct I think my mind and the numbers on the key board are not cooperating tonight. Typical range is probubly in the $34-40 arena. Brownell's isnt too bad especially if your getting the MIL/LEO discount Midway has deals every so often. $34 - unfortunately out of stock -...

    One other thing. Get yourself a good stockage of SCAR17s OEM mags while they are reasonably priced and available as it’s just good sense. The number you need is up to you. Fare price recently is between the $28-30 per 20rd FN OEM Mag. Don't pay stupid prices as it only keeps the price...

    SCAR 17 rail extension and clip on night vision.

    First, my mistake was in trying to set up my SCAR like my ARs, most of which have long handguards (railed or otherwise). I wanted a longer rail out front on the SCAR as well, so I ended up trying both the PWS and Branham offerings. I found that these rail extensions made the SCAR too muzzle...

    SCAR17 - To Creedmoor or not?

    "HDD is bad juju stay away!" I would ask the question what do you want the rifle to do? From what you have described above I think you would be better served with a GAP10 / REPR, bolt gun, etc for your intended purpose. Or if/when FNH ever decides to produce the MK20 for civilian hands…...

    SCAR 17 rail extension and clip on night vision.

    Hunting hogs is a great time especially if you can team up on equipment vs fronting everything yourself. An affordable FLIR handheld thermal unit for scanning then swap to your NVD system for identification and to make the shot. I cant afford a $15,000 pure thermal system like the FLIR...

    SCAR 17 rail extension and clip on night vision.

    Believe it might work but you would have to remove the rear iron sight. Honestly, though the PVS 22 will be way to far out front for my likeing. Too long a scope to run with a PVS-22 on that system, ELCAN, ACOG, Leupold MK6 1-6, MK8 1-8, S&B shortdot, Nightforce 2.5X10 yes GTG. PVS-22...

    Here we go again......its on the internet, therefore if must be true! The PVS-22/PVS-27 from FLIR/ITT is designed to be weapon mounted and uses a patented shock mitigation unit in their systems....not sure what brand you are using. For the record yes I have a SCAR 16s and SCAR 17s and no...

    The Price of .22 Ammo Just Blew Me Away

    Gentleman, the ammo is out there check your local Armslist listing's, swapmeets, etc and work on your haggling skills! Don't pay the stupid prices people are asking it only spurs them on. Sad to say but $45 is about the going rate on a 565rd federal bulk box now days since a few people...

    SCAR16 or LWRC IC SPR 16"

    Running a M4-2000 on a16 there is of course a significant difference in fouling between suppressed and unsuppressed. Suppressed, most of the fouling is coming from the breech due to the excess backpressure. I think you'll see similar fouling regardless of the platform assuming similar operating...

    Rifles to avoid?

    I got out of the AR-15 platform a couple years ago. Great rifles just wanted something different in 5.56 other than what I use at work all day. If I went in again I would try and get a COLT LE 6920 or other COLT model for under $900 if you can which is a great value for what you are getting...

    Extreme environments: lubes and weapon / scope care

    Sound advise, I've heard alot of great things about FireClean but have yet to try it. I guess I'm stubborn but my staple weapon lube has been Slip 2000 EWL for years and I have yet to have issues with it.

    Tikka T3 - Excessive Copper Fouling / Accuracy Issues?

    I finally got to the range this morning and it proved to be a good day. 59 degrees, with no negligible wind. Before I hit the range I gave the rifle a thorough cleaning in order to get all the previous fowling and copper out. All shots were fired at 100yards sitting with the rifle resting on...
